Sorry for the late post everyone, I had a busy weekend and my mind was on other things - mostly my upcoming gall bladder surgery. Which is now finally behind me.
Mod
Thanks Jencey, I appreciate that. It's been kind of a rough couple of days, but I'm sure tomorrow will be better.
Gall bladder surgery?! Oh no. Hope you're doing well.

It's getting better day by day. :)

Congrats Kristin - you're the winner of the first quarter challenge! PM me with your preference of a B&N gift card or an Amazon gift card along with your email address.
As you'll remember, I cancelled my online book trading accounts so I can no longer offer those credits as a prize. And I decided to do away with second and third place prizes, but Jencey and Alex, if you guys want to choose a book from the list of books that I have ready to donate to the library, send me a pm and let me know if you're interested.
